Dual Ultra-Wide Setup for the guy who asked for a pic

[Carlos G. 13]

Someone in the chat asked me to post a picture of my two ultra-wide monitors, but I forgot at the time. Not sure who it was, but here you go.   They're LG 34" 21:9 3440x1440 monitors (P/N: LG34UC98).  I use them for more than trading, but they work great for that as well.  I don't like to extend DAS beyond the left-half of my right monitor because I don't want to have to turn my head to see charts.  I know some would prefer to build upwards and I can understand that, but most of my focus is on my left ultra-wide, so it works for me.  Also, the chatroom is on the smaller far-left monitor and I usually keep finviz or thinkorswim on the far-right.   Just wanted to give you a look at what it's like for anyone wanting to go this route for their setup.  Let me know if you have questions.

Sweet setup! You trade on Das and TOS or just use TOS for charting?

Eventually I will upgrade my monitors they are pretty old and I can tell the difference of how old they are when I use my mac....

Thanks, Carlos. I only trade on DAS, but I like keeping TOS open to see fundamental data for swing trades. Plus, I learned in TOS before DAS and I still like keeping it open. I hear you on the need to upgrade. There's a clear difference between my old monitor on the far-left and my ultra-wides. I really like the 21:9 aspect ratio, especially for gaming. I never want to go back to 16:9. I definitely recommend these monitors.

Gotcha. I love TOS started to Day Trade the failed and then moved over to Das faster Andrew's book and for our style of trading is the way to go. But I still have an account with them and I love their mobile App. If I am in a trade on Das and I need to walk away or leave the house (Stoploss and all that in place of course) that is were i check the chart. 

Once again great setup! (And don't get me started on gaming, I love it but is hard to not spend couple of hours shooting things up once you get started lol...)

I forgot about the TOS mobile app.  Just downloaded it, so thanks.  As for gaming, it's hard to get the time in with 2 kids, but I'm definitely going to make some time for the Resident Evil 2 remake, this weekend.  I definitely recommend picking that one up.

@Carlos G.,

 

Thanks for posting your setup! I am building out right now and I have 2 marge screen monitors 36" as I develop web software for my day job. I was wondering if they would work out. Now I know.
